James is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee due to left ankle tendinopathy.
EDGE Analysis
James appears on track to sit the front half of the upcoming back-to-back set against Milwaukee and Memphis, respectively. Tuesday could mark the first instance of James sitting in a back-to-back since Feb. 22, although he has yet to be officially ruled out. Anthony Davis (bilateral Achilles tendinopathy) is considered probable.

James is questionable to face the Pacers on Sunday due to a left ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Similar to the case of Anthony Davis (Achilles), James has been pretty much a mainstay on the Lakers' injury reports throughout the season, but more often than not, he's been able to play without limitations, and that's expected to be the case Sunday. James is averaging 26.0 points, 9.1 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

James provided 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 38 minutes during Friday's 101-94 victory over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
While James continues to be listed on the injury report with an ankle issue, it doesn't seem to be slowing him down. Over 12 games since the All-Star break, the future Hall of Famer has averaged 27.6 points, 9.3 assists, 7.3 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc.

James (ankle) will play in Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
James has routinely been playing through questionable designations and Friday will be no different. Barring any setbacks, the star forward will presumably take on his usual workload.

James (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
James has been listed as questionable the past four games for Los Angeles, but he's yet to miss a game in that span, so he feels a bit closer to probable for Friday night. Managers can expect an official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.

James accumulated 25 points (10-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and 10 assists over 29 minutes during Monday's 136-105 victory over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers' ability to put the game away by the end of the third quarter allowed James to rest a bit, as the 29 minutes he logged marked his lowest total since Jan. 11. The decreased time on the court didn't affect the future Hall of Famer's production, however, as he posted his fourth double-double across his past six games and finished just three boards shy of a triple-double. James has shown no signs of slowing down late in his age-39 season, as he's scored at least 25 points and notched at least eight assists in 10 of his 12 games since the All-Star break.

James (ankle) will play Monday versus Atlanta, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
James will suit up for his fourth consecutive contest Monday, and he enters averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 38.7 minutes across his last three appearances. The 39-year-old dropped 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in a Jan. 30 loss to Atlanta -- representing the only other meeting between these two teams this season.

James (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
James continues to receive questionable designations ahead of each contest due to a lingering ankle issue, so this is not much of an indicator of his potential availability. If he is unavailable, Rui Hachimura and Taurean Prince could see increased playing time.

James chipped in 40 points (15-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
James was forced to carry a heavier load on offense after Anthony Davis (eye) left the game in the first half. While James delivered one of his best all-around efforts of the season, it wasn't enough to lift the Lakers to victory in this pivotal matchup against an opponent in the playoff race. James has been thriving as a playmaker in recent weeks, recording seven or more assists in 14 straight appearances. He's averaging 27.4 points, 9.4 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game in that 14-game stretch.
